If you weren’t able to make it to last week’s Philly Cares About Fairmount Park Day, but still feel like gettin’ some dirt on your hands this week, the Japan American Society of Greater Philadelphia is holding their annual Spring Cherry Tree Maintenance day.

If you’ve noticed how refreshing the arrival of our cherry tree blossoms are to the general psyche of the city every Spring, know that that doesn’t happen by itself. This is a fun opportunity to learn correct pruning and mulching technique from veterans of the program, and to get together with other folks who love the park.

There is a picnic following the work session, so check with the JASGP website for details and make sure to RSVP with them.
